There are 1.2 billion people between the ages of 15 and 24 in the world today. Many countries with the youngest populations are in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and South-East Asia. These large youth populations should be perceived as a primary asset rather than a burden. The explosion of a young population means that, sometimes, there aren’t enough formal jobs for youth. This panel explores entrepreneurship as another option and will discuss efforts by schools and universities to develop entrepreneurship initiatives at various levels.
